10/22/2011 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Family members, friends and many in the auto racing community gathered to pay their respects to two-time Indianapolis 500 winner and former IndyCar champion Dan Wheldon, who was killed in a multi- car crash during last Sunday's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Wheldon, 33, was remembered as an accomplished race car driver as well as a young father and husband during the hour-long service held on Saturday at First Presbyterian Church of St. Petersburg. He was born in Emberton, England but had resided in St. Petersburg. Wheldon is survived by his wife, Susie, and two sons, Sebastian and Oliver.
"Although the last few days have been unbearable for our family, the overwhelming love and support we have received are rays of sunshine during these dark days," Susie Wheldon said in a statement earlier this week. "The outpouring of sympathy and condolences has been so comforting, and I want to thank everyone for their kind notes, letters, gifts and flowers."
IndyCar drivers Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan were among those who served as pallbearers for Wheldon. Wynonna Judd performed "Amazing Grace" during the service. Her sister, Ashley Judd, who is Franchitti's wife, was also in attendance.
Large crowds formed outside the church to mourn Wheldon. A private burial for Wheldon was held after the funeral.
IndyCar has planned a public memorial service for the 2005 series titleholder on Sunday at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The memorial will be televised live on VERSUS and ESPNEWS as well as streamed online at IndyCar.com.
Wheldon won his second Indianapolis 500 in May. He made just three starts in the series this year.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
